Cool interview.

When you say "Most of the heroes are viable", do any jump out as never being viable? It's one of my dreams to see rarely played heroes like Medusa or Timbersaw in a professional game :D

TPL seems to have messed up their recording though, and the Spectre game is missing (only picks+gg for some reason)
Here is the Russian VOD, which seems to be the only one available if you don't have an in-game ticket.

Do you enjoy practicing one game as much as you do or is it more of a job?

I believe it would be interesting to see high level players play a different game mode with more varied picks, do you think random draft is suitable for high level play?

You sayd most carries are situational pick. Can you create a scenario or tell us when Medusa, Troll, PA and anothers uncommon picks are a viable?

A lot of pro Dota2 players come across as egomaniacs and not very nice people overall. How do you deal with this within the team and without?

I have watched a lot of NTH's games and I have the feeling that Akke is an extremely good support player, possibly the best in Europe, but I remember him playing heroes like PotM, Necrolyte, SF, and other semi-carries in the past during the old SK days. How did you decide to rotate his role, and how did you figure out your current roles? Do you experiment with roles when you practice?

Midas seem to be a very popular item with you, even on Luna(A hero who has strond migame teamfighting presence, Midas does delay this). Why do you think Midas is so good?

Also, will we ever see Necrolyte?!

How come we never see Swiss tournament mode in Dota tournaments? Do pro teams dislike them or is there some other reason?

Q:

At TI2 you played alot of offlane Dark Seer, currently you are always on the safelane putting Bulldog on offlane even with a Lone Druid. I have no problem with this. However, why is this never switched around? It feels like some games could benefit from putting Lone Druid on safe and you taking the offlane role without an aggressive trilane. Why have we never seen this?

I'm asking because I feel that most games where your LD pull ahead you also win the game. NTH as a team plays the LD really damn good, but never as slot 1, because Sylla is "Bulldogs hero" and he is stuck on offlane..
